▢ Source Vendor:

• Determine which type of macaron making class you would like to host. Choose if you’d like to have an instructor lead a live demonstration or if you’d like to have residents participate directly in creating their own batch of macarons. If the latter, consider multiple classes, limiting class sizes, and/or allowing longer class durations to accommodate baking times.

  • Option A: Reach out to a local bakery and ask if they'd be open to hosting a macaron making class in your community kitchen.

  • Option B: Search online for a macaron instructor near you.

  • Option C: Host a hybrid event with residents in person and a virtual instructor. Sites like Cozymeal provide professional instructors during 1-2 hour classes over a livestream.

• Confirm with your vendor about the supplies they will provide vs. the supplies you’ll need to make available at the event.
